My cheap Palm III xe eats batteries and its off more than its on...

I doubt more memory does much to battery life; its the music. but if you listen to it with the screen off, there should be no problem listening for hours (an mp3 player can play for 24hours with a single AA)

and by the time they come with all that memory, batteries should also have improved.

Animal, 3700 and 3800-series iPAQs have 64 Meg internal memory and you can attach the 1Gig microdrives to them with the CF adapters

Plenty of mp3 space, it is

Interesting. Do they still have that bulky add-on sleeve you gotta put for extra features?
is it USB 2.0 or FireWire?

I've had a palm iiie for about 2 1/2 years now. I think i change the batteries every month or so.

I certainly have the palmasutra, been diligently ticking items off as time goes by....

iPAQ 3630 here, and very happy with it. I use it for everything....accounts, agenda, e-mail...

I'm now tweaking with a Garmin 75 and OziCE

Cheers,

Pepe

With the 3600 series you have to have the PCMCIA or CF adapter, which is kind of thick, I admit, but the 3800 series have some special slot built in (SD Memory Slot).

About connectivity: it's USB 2.0

How do you guys with CE devices like the OS? My friend's boss has an iPaq and he hated CE so much, he removed it and was loading Linux on it. Not sure how well that worked, but...
